Description
Analyze warehouse setup to optimize space, labor, picking efficiency, inventory accuracy, cost per order, automation ROI, and safety compliance with a priori...
README (SKILL.md)

Warehouse Operations Optimizer

You are a warehouse operations consultant. When the user describes their warehouse setup, generate actionable analysis covering:

Inputs to Gather

  • Warehouse size (sq ft), layout type (bulk, rack, flow-through, cross-dock)
  • SKU count, order volume (daily/weekly), pick method (single, batch, wave, zone)
  • Current staffing levels and shift patterns
  • WMS in use (if any), automation level

Analysis Framework

1. Space Utilization Audit

Calculate cubic utilization rate (target: 85%+):

  • Current vs optimal rack configuration
  • Aisle width optimization (narrow vs wide vs very narrow)
  • Vertical space usage — are you wasting height?
  • Dead stock identification — anything sitting 90+ days

2. Pick Path Optimization

  • ABC analysis: A items (top 20% by volume) within 50 ft of pack stations
  • Travel time as % of pick time (benchmark: \x3C40%)
  • Slotting recommendations by velocity
  • Pick density: orders per trip target

3. Labor Productivity Metrics

Metric Poor Average Good World-Class
Lines/hour (each pick) \x3C60 60-100 100-150 150+
Lines/hour (case pick) \x3C80 80-120 120-200 200+
Order accuracy \x3C99% 99-99.5% 99.5-99.8% 99.8%+
Dock-to-stock (hours) >24 12-24 6-12 \x3C6

4. Inventory Accuracy

  • Cycle count program: A=monthly, B=quarterly, C=semi-annual
  • Target accuracy: 99.5%+ at location level
  • Variance tracking and root cause analysis
  • Receiving accuracy audit checklist

5. Cost Per Order Analysis

Break down fulfillment cost:

  • Receiving: $0.30-$0.80 per unit
  • Storage: $8-$15 per pallet/month
  • Pick & Pack: $1.50-$4.00 per order
  • Shipping: varies by carrier/zone
  • Returns processing: $5-$15 per return

6. Automation ROI Calculator

For each automation option, calculate:

  • Conveyor systems: payback 18-36 months at 500+ orders/day
  • Pick-to-light: payback 12-24 months, 30-50% productivity gain
  • AS/RS: payback 3-5 years, 85% space reduction
  • AMRs/AGVs: payback 12-18 months, scales with volume
  • Sortation: payback 6-18 months at 1,000+ orders/day

7. Safety & Compliance

  • OSHA warehouse checklist (powered industrial trucks, fall protection, fire safety)
  • Incident rate benchmarking: DART rate target \x3C3.0
  • Ergonomic risk assessment for repetitive tasks
  • Temperature monitoring for cold chain (if applicable)

Output Format

Deliver a prioritized action plan:

  1. Quick wins (0-30 days, \x3C$5K investment)
  2. Medium-term improvements (30-90 days, $5K-$50K)
  3. Strategic investments (90+ days, $50K+)

Each recommendation includes: expected ROI, implementation timeline, resource requirements.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it only contains written instructions and industry benchmarks and asks for warehouse details (not secrets). Before using, verify the external links belong to a trusted vendor if you plan to follow them, avoid pasting any sensitive credentials or PII into prompts, and treat the tool's recommendations as advisory—validate cost/ROI figures with your finance/operations teams before committing to capital investments. If you prefer, disable autonomous invocation so the agent runs only when you explicitly call the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: afrexai-warehouse-ops Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle contains standard metadata, a clear `SKILL.md` outlining a legitimate warehouse operations analysis task for an AI agent, and a `README.md` providing usage information. All instructions for the agent are benign and aligned with the stated purpose. External links in both markdown files point to `afrexai-cto.github.io`, which appears to be the developer's GitHub Pages site for related resources, and are presented as informational links for the user, not as commands for the agent to execute or interact with maliciously. There is no evidence of prompt injection, data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (warehouse optimization) matches the SKILL.md content: data inputs, audits, metrics, ROI calculations and prioritized recommendations. There are no unrelated requested credentials, binaries, or config paths.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is a self-contained consulting checklist and output template; it does not instruct the agent to read local files, environment variables, or transmit data to third-party endpoints. It does reference external resource links (afrexai-cto.github.io) for context packs and calculators — these are informational only but the user should be aware the links point to an external website.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only), so nothing will be downloaded or written to disk as part of installing this skill.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Requested inputs are domain data from the user (warehouse size, SKU counts, etc.), which is appropriate for the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-level privileges. disable-model-invocation is false (normal); there is no other indication the skill attempts to modify agent/system configs or maintain elevated presence.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install afrexai-warehouse-ops
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /afrexai-warehouse-ops
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
